Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Toilet chip repair in Madingley without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.

Repairing versus replacing in Madingley
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Madingley: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Madingley?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Common problems we fix in Madingley
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the pan or rim

- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
